Is that a Giggle?

Aubriella has been smiling like crazy.  It is so cute.  Each morning when I get her out of bed she just smiles and smiles.  I think she is really enjoying all the sleep she is getting at night.  She sleeps from about 10:00 PM to about 8:30 AM.  It has been heavenly!  

She is really close to being able to giggle.  Matt is so cute with her and she grins at her daddy a lot.  This is a clip of him playing with her and almost getting a few giggles.  Enjoy!

Aubriella

I was in the mood again to play around with my camera.  Aubriella was looking at me like "mom, what are you doing?"  Well, I thought she still looked cute so I had to share.

No More Training Wheels for Dakota!

For family night we decided to get the bikes up and running for the summer.  Dakota was anxious to learn how to ride without training wheels so we started to work on that.  It took him about 10 minutes and his was off and riding on his own. He was so proud of himself.  After his first 20 feet on his own, he told me he was now ready to do it without his helmet and knee pads.  I had to convince him that the helmet was a permanent fixture and it would be best if he wore the knee pads for a little longer.  Matt worked on teaching him how to start on his own and he picked up on that pretty quick as well.  Good job Kota!

While we were working with Dakota, the twins took turns helping by pushing each other up and down the sidewalk.  They are still trying to figure out how to peddle.  It was so cute to watch them helping each other.

5 Million Card Pickup Anyone?

This was a fun treat to come down to bright and early Monday morning.  It actually happened on Sunday and Matt refused to let me come downstairs to see what had happened since we had other things that we needed to be doing.  Now I can see why.  The boys had pulled out just about every card game that we own and scattered them all over the basement.  I don't think there was a corner that was not covered or cushion of the couch that didn't have cards stuck in it.  This picture does not even show the half of it, I could not capture all the damage in one photo.  Of coarse the mess is to overwhelming for little boys so it took them all morning of moaning and groaning and time-outs for not working, just to get the mess gathered into one big pile!  Then I sat down with them and spent about an hour sorting and organizing them into their right box. Let's just say I was not a happy mom that morning,  there were many other things I would have rather been doing.  Let's just hope that NEVER happens again!
